Congratulations on uploading 100 playspaces! That's awesome!

Awesome interactive (and totally playful!) art exhibit in Belgium: "Net Z33 consists of multiple layers of flexible nets suspended in the air. The flat layers of the net are subsequently connected to one another on counterpoints thus forming a "floating landscape" open for visitors to climb in and explore. The result is an op-art social sculpture (or a community hammock) relating to topics of instability, levitation and regression."

That looks like SO much fun. Love the sign, too! :)

How cool is this swing?!

First comes PARK(ing) day, then parklets, then come parkmobiles. San Francisco just launched parkmobiles!

From a piece in the LA Times: "The two bright-red dumpsters, 16 feet long by nearly 6 feet wide and filled with greenery, have been placed in a busy downtown neighborhood where they throw a little shade, elicit regular double-takes and fill curbside spots that otherwise would go to cars. The grandly named "parkmobiles" were rolled out earlier this summer, the first in a fleet of itinerant oases in one of America's densest cities."

I love everything about this print! Switch off and join in! Reclaim childhood!

Love these sandals for kids that leave animal footprints! I would absolutely go for the dino ones :)

This is the coolest swing EVER. I want one.

More info - http://www.cedarworks.com/blog/2009/02/skating-the-summer-away - and it's a company, but I'm not endorsing them (I'd never heard of 'em before this). I just want that swing.

Love this - makes you rethink public spaces... kind of like the park(ing) day in SF, where they made parking spots into mini parks!

I've been to this airport but hadn't seen the playground! Love that it's themed!

This is fantastic! Makes me want to see if there are any shots of me as a kid on playground equipment...

That's a challenge I deal with every day! Love the video! :)

Great article about "Parks for People" that's well worth a read: http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/kbenfield/parks_for_people_and_people_fo.html

I think this is one of the coolest side projects I have EVER seen.

Might help increase physical activity, no? :)
